THE LEE BALDWIN TRAIL (1 mile) starts across Route 6A on Museum land that meanders through the famous Stony Brook Valley. It travels through a brackish salt marsh, across the Stony Brook, into an increasingly freshwater habitat, and then through a unique beech forest.

JOHN WING TRAIL (1.3 mile) passes through coastal pitch pine woodlands, across a salt marsh, to Wing Island and finally descends through a salt marsh swale to the barrier beach and tidal pools of Cape Cod Bay. This is truly a microcosm of the Cape's landscape.

HERRING RUN Between mid-April and early-June, Stony Brook becomes a herring run, connecting these ocean-dwelling alewives with their freshwater spawning grounds.

TIDES Check the tide before you hike! We are set on North America's largest tidal flat. We experience two high tides and two low tides a day that can change the water level an average of 8-12 feet.
